I am so glad that I have been running long enough that I am passed the point where major pains frighten and threaten to lay waste to all my plans. Heather, I totally felt your post. (Except, you know, I've never actually gone to the doctor to confirm diagnosis. Kudos for you with that.)
Tuesday's run was nothing fancy, just standard issue 9:15ish miles.
I really felt Sunday's run in my calves, though. I made a conscious effort to push off the balls of my feet to stretch them that much more.
All I could think during this run - aside from THANK YOU GOD FOR BEAUTIFUL FALL WEATHER - was if I, at the amateur level I am, can feel individual muscle fibers and tweak foot falls to stretch them out, what level of attentiveness - dear lord! - must professional athletes experience on a day-to-day basis? Must be, by turns, exhilarating and excruciating.
Miles 452-455: 37 minutes of exchanging pleasantries with the sun; because, you know, it's not trying to bake me alive anymore.
